Main Street Books in St. Charles to Close in January

The Post Dispatch has reported that Main Street Books in St. Charles is going to close on January 31, unless a buyer steps forward.

Vicky Irwin, owner for the past seven years, has been a champion for local writers.

The news also reports that the store will have a "retirement sale" in January.

The store is open for business as usual through December. Gift certificates will expire Jan. 31.

I hate to hear that, Donna, that another bookstore is closing up. The smaller ones, especially, are special places to be and I hate that they are becoming fewer and fewer. I do hope someone is able to not only save the place, but find a way to make it thrive.
